HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Nitrosigine 750 mg by Swanson

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Nitrosigine 750 mg is a two-ingredient product. The first is Arginine Silicate Inositol, a compound form of the amino acid arginine combined with silica and inositol.

The second is potassium, an essential mineral your body needs for heart rhythm, muscle function, and nerve signaling. The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients (binders, fillers, and a coating) to hold it together.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: promotes nitric oxide production and circulatory health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Endothelial function, Blood flow, Vascular health, Hypertension.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The product facts we hold do not include effectiveness ratings for either ingredient in this formulation, so we cannot tell you whether the evidence supports its use for any specific health goal.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Potassium

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Potassium from food is safe, but potassium supplements require caution — they can build up to dangerous levels in your bloodstream, especially if you have kidney disease. The most common side effects when taken by mouth are mild stomach upset: abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, belching, and flatulence.

High potassium levels are rare but serious and can cause heart rhythm problems, low blood pressure, confusion, or even cardiac arrest. For pregnancy and breastfeeding, dietary potassium is fine, but do not use potassium supplements during pregnancy or while breastfeeding without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first.

There isn't enough safety data on the other ingredient during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so check with your healthcare provider before taking this product if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Potassium

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Potassium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 62 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Nitrosigine, check with your pharmacist if you use potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). All three carry a Moderate risk of dangerously high blood potassium when combined with this supplement.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take a blood pressure or heart medication — especially potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or ARBs — do not start this product without checking with your pharmacist first. If you have kidney disease or are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before using it.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Nitrosigine 750 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Potassium3 drug types · 62 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
